5 inch caster wheels x 2

<< < (2/3) > >>

Yah I bet they're chinese. Gonna be really hard to find some that aren't.

The first option might be non-asian, but you'd have to come up with bearings or bushings. If you add 2 to cart there's a discount so $24 for the pair.

I looked through my hoard and have a couple that style, but they're 6" and definitely chinese.

Is there an industrial surplus store around tacoma?

Would these work?

Well I'm not in any hurry so I can wait
They're for a dolly for a  motorcycle stand so they have to be dependable and heavy duty

The factory dolly uses steel wheels but I'm making my own improved version

Uncle Buck:
How flexible are you on the outside diameter? Also, how new do they have to be?

If you could handle up to about 7" diameter, I might have the castors you are looking for

I have to see if I still have them, but I know I had, and possibly still have two of the same design as those pictured in the first shot. I can't commit until I see if I still have then.

A year or so back I finally got rid of some large casters I had been sitting on for decades in my ongoing house cleaning efforts. I don't think I got rid of those castors though because they were very high quality. I  will caution you though, if I do find them they are very old, likely most of 100YO at this point and they look like it too. The cast iron looks as new, though crudely pinted blue. The centers I think are twins to those in the first picture.  No cages, not spinners, just big heavy castors with roughly 1/2" or a wee bit more bonded to the rolling surface.

The heavy use took its toll on the rubber. There are some chunks missing, but not so much as to impact the rolling ability of the castors.  I do think they have two bearing races per castor, one per side.

If I still have them, and if you could use 6-7" diameter,  then they are yours if I find them. These are exceptionally heavy duty and  would easily handle very heavy loads imposed on them. No clue what load limit you need, but these would probably exceed what ever castor I viewed in the thread would handle.

If a guy removed the bearings and ran them through a blaster, aside from tired, but totally usable rubber bonded to the surface they would be beautiful.

I will see if I kept them and can find them. Hopefully the 6-7" diameter is not a deal breaker for you.

I just looked at the pictures again. I saw nothing as heavy as my castors.  My castors are not cast aluminum metal, but cast iron. No chance mine are imports. I know mine have to be at least several decades older than my 60+ years of age!

Well thanks Buck but I think they will be too big.
I think the original size on the factory unit is 4 inch.
So even 5 inches may be too big.
I'll be measuring one next week.
